Teachers and lecturers continue to grapple with the best ways to teach and learn Science and Technology using current information and communication technologies (ICT). This paper presents an introductory process of developing ...

The purpose of this research was to investigate specific areas of difficulty for undergraduate University students in Organic Chemistry and to identify the sources of difficulty for Chemistry students in order to scientifically ...

The problem of the study was to analyze the results of university biology education students as a case study against gender and performance and empirically determine the implications of the findings to countries, such as ...

Many people believe that the teaching and learning of science are only achievable in the classroom and, in some cases, the laboratory. This notion has forced many school learners and educators to abandon the teaching and ...

This study examined relative abstract nature of Biology, Chemistry and Physics offered at the senior secondary schools (SSS) in Ankpa education zone of Kogi State of Nigeria based on the analysis of classroom interactions. ...

Chemistry students often regarded abstract and complex Chemistry concepts as difficult
to learn (1; 2) and this prevents many of them from continuing studies in pure chemistry courses. This study investigated how ...

This paper profiles a community engaged initiative that is in a form of a teacher development programme (TDP) offered by the Institute for Science and Technology Education (ISTE). The programme sought to improve grade 12 ...

Many students have difficulty in learning abstract and complex lessons of chemistry. This study investigated how students develop their understandings of abstract and complex lessons in chemistry with the aid of visualizing ...

There is a huge challenge of high failure rate in physical science across the world and South Africa, in particular at
the high school level in recent times. This is in spite of the fact that both the educators and learners ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate Ethiopian physics undergraduate students’ conceptual change in the concepts of electric potential and energy (EPE) and electromagnetic induction (EMI). A quasi-experimental ...

The purpose of this study was to categorize 35 Ethiopian undergraduate physics students’ alternative conceptions in the concepts of electric potential and energy. A descriptive qualitative research design was used to ...

Quantum mechanics is often thought to be a difficult subject to understand, not only in the complexity of its mathematics, but also in its conceptual foundation. In this paper we emphasise students’ depictions of the ...

In this exploratory study, we sought to examine the influence of mathematics teachers’
beliefs on their intended and actual usage of dynamic mathematics software in their
classrooms. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB), ...

South African schools have been confronted with educational reform since the mid-nineties and the
process is still continuing. The concomitant changes put a very high demand on physical sciences teachers
and also have ...

The study sought to obtain information on the relationship, if any, between students’
achievement and teacher background as well as between students’ achievement and
professional development. The respective correlation ...

This paper focuses on the use of interactive computer simulations as a way of making education
accessible to everyone. Interactive Computer simulations are used to reduce the mental effort
used in learning skills and ...

The state of mathematics and science education in South Africa is a cause for
concern. This situation can be attributed, in part, to many mathematics and
science teachers’ limited content knowledge, ineffective teaching ...

In this pilot study, we sought to examine the influence of the beliefs of Grade 10
to 12 physical science teachers on their intended and actual usage of interactive
simulations (Physics Education Technology, or PhET) in ...

In this exploratory study, we sought to examine the influence of mathematics teachers’ beliefs on their intended and actual usage of the dynamic mathematics software in their classrooms. The theory of planned behaviour ...
